As discussed last night with Megyn Kelly (below), there are stories out this week of professors excusing students from classes or even exams due to the trauma caused by the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States. It is the same response that we saw to the Ferguson, Missouri riots, which I also criticized at schools like Columbia. I cancelled class so that everyone could participate in this historic election. Many of my students were poll watchers and campaign workers. However, we all returned the next day and, even my students upset with the results, directed that energy told their education and moving forward. I was proud of them. We do our students a disservice by reinforcing this modern version of the vapors, where students emotionally collapse when legal or political events do not go their way. Ironically, one of the things I most respect about Hillary Clinton is her fighting spirit. She tended to stand her ground and, when knocked down, to pick herself up immediately and fight again.
One story details how an economics professor at Yale wrote his students to say “I am getting many heartfelt notes from students who are in shock over the election returns” and “fear, rightly or wrongly for their families” and are “requesting that the exam be postponed.” He agreed to do so.
Part of college education is to help shape emerging citizens who need to face adversity and disappointment without being some type of emotional hemophiliacs who swoon or sulk with disappointments. Democracy guarantees rights not results. These students and their candidate lost. That is crushing for many but from that disappointment should come a renewed commitment to their cause. The system worked. Voters have been saying for years that they felt that they no longer counted and that Washington would not change. They wanted an outsider. The Democrats gave them the ultimate establishment figure and a candidate with the highest negative polling numbers of any Democrat. The result should not surprise people. The voters did count this week. They changed things. For the better or the worse . . . only time will tell. Yet, we all remain bound by a common article of faith in our democratic system. When you lose, you pick yourself up (as my students did this week) and get on with it. That is what education is about.
From Bush through Obama, the administrations have exploited fear to solve the problem of “hating us for our freedom.” They just removed it. Voila, problem solved! Pretty soon we won’t even be able to drive our own cars and we seem to be loving every minute of it. Elegant and simple. Instead of freedom we have the internet of things, instead of privacy, we have big data following every move we make. Ah but it’s so convenient. Instead of the blind lady meeting out justice for all, we have the Clintons and the Kochs brothers enjoying priveledge above the law for a tiny fraction of the whole. But the sand feels so good around our heads, why take them out?
We have allowed fear and convenience to get us where we are today. Before blindly fearing that which you know little or nothing about, wait and see. One can be cautious in judgement without being blinded by fear.

Omarosa Issues Warning: Anti-Trump Republicans Will Be Put On A List
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/omarosa-anti-trump-republicans-list
Donald Trump surrogate and former “Apprentice” star Omarosa Manigault said that the Republican nominee would keep a list of his fellow party members who voted against him.
“It’s so great our enemies are making themselves clear so that when we get in to the White House, we know where we stand,” she told the Independent Journal Review at Trump’s election night party in Manhattan.
A number of prominent Republicans, including Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), publicly announced that they did not cast ballots for Trump, after denouncing him for months.
“If [Graham] felt his interests was with that candidate, God bless him,” Omarosa told IJR. “I would never judge anybody for exercising their right to and the freedom to choose who they want. But let me just tell you, Mr. Trump has a long memory and we’re keeping a list.”
Good! I hope that’s true. One reason people voted for Trump was that they were tired of the corporatist Repugs. Especially war mongering creeps like Lindsey Graham. Drain the swamp!!
Do you think that Giuliani, Christie, and Gingrich are not regarded as corporate thugs? The all appear to be headed to top level ljobs in the Trump administration.
SWM, Absolutely Gingrich is an immoral opportunist. There are thugs all over the Hill – Dems and Reps. I hope most of them are driven off.
Dream on, Autumn. With Trump and his cronies, you’re in a deeper swamp than ever.
Trump is considering JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon for treasury secretary. Rumor has it the job is Dimon’s if he will take it. Sure is draining the swamp.
Sorry SM, (also sorry cause there are probably others far more deserving of this rant) but no matter Trump or his proposed administration, the Democrats have absolutely no one but themselves to blame for this. Naturally they are blaming everyone and everything else including, snort, the Russians. The country is bruised and fed up with turning a blind eye to criminals like Clinton who bury us deeper and deeper in debt each cycle and pretend it’s the other guy’s fault when it’s getting painfully obvious all of them are laughing their way to the bank.
If the Democrat party wants to win, all it has to do is present a winning candidate. Such as Sanders. But that is impossible, like asking an Ass to play the piano. Wall St. wouldn’t stand for it and Debbie Wasserman Shultz to the rescue! The party is moribund. It’s dead, it lost it’s soul. The new deal is long gone even in pretense. Now it’s, save social security by destroying it, criticize tax breaks for the rich and then vote to extend them (with Democrat control of both houses), pay lip service to workers and then move jobs overseas like there was no tomorrow. Talk about human rights and send drones to kill 16 year old American citizens with no due process. Lip service against torture all while carrying it on in secret rendition sites. Talk about healthcare for all and then simply pay fealty to an ever more rapacious insurance industry by giving them facist mandates with no price controls what-so-ever. Neoliberalism has proven a terminal disease and Clinton has it stage10. And she is a neocon to boot; imposing empire in all foreign affairs with the biggest military in the world to the point of risking WWIII. And then, after all that, having the gall, the chutzpah, to call this pile of sewage the lessor of evils. With a straight face. As if it was obvious. Well it isn’t obvious and It won’t fly anymore.
swarthmoremom,
The Democrats should have selected an upstanding candidate like the Republicans did–a man who is a racist, bigot, misogynist who has assaulted women…a birther…a businessman who often failed to pay his debts to small businesses…a climate change denier…a man who said that women who have abortions should be punished…who imported Chinese steel and has his clothing line manufactured overseas. Maybe then the Democrats could have won enough electoral votes
edm – Chinese steel is cheaper than American steel. Almost all clothing is made overseas. Nothing you are claiming about Trump is a big deal. Apple makes almost all its products in China. Is that going to stop you from buying an iPhone?
Paul,
The other candidates–both Republican and Democratic–had their campaign hats and shirts made in America. Trump, however, had his made in other countries. As for steel, Trump chose to undercut American workers so he, the supposed billionaire, could make more money for himself. Screw American workers.
Steel is still manufactured in this country. Are iPhones manufactured here? BTW, I have never bought an iPhone.
edm – I am not sure where Trump had his hats made. right now everything is an urban legend. iPhones are manufactured in China.
Paul,
I have seen photographs of the labels.
I am leaving for a night out but wanted to answer you quickly. Much of what you said is true but at the same time don’t you think that appointing Clinton supporter bankster Jaime Diamond is not the best idea for an administration that ran on a throw the bums out agenda, bb. I just read that Howard Dean would like to be DNC chairman again. Might be a good idea.
I agree….
Howard Dean is a real scream
Agree about Diamond
I’ve noted before that Trump is surrounding himself with a dubious crew for someone who wants to rebuild our infrastructure and create jobs, jobs, jobs. You’re right. He may turn out to be exactly like Clinton who would just allow the Republicans to force her (oh my arm, my arm…) to give giant tax breaks to the rich – ostensibly to invest in business, snort, which they would then take and offshore into tax shelters just like they did when Obama and two houses both controlled by Democrats voted to extend the Bush tax cuts for the rich and famous.
I’ve also said they are personal friends or once were. Perhaps she texted him her list when she called him to concede.
Liberals can’t and shouldn’t control the Republicans. Liberals should control themselves. Comparisons are at a complete total dead end because in reality the parties are like two peas in a pod. Contrasts are like an endless slug fights where for hours on end the two opponents just take full on unobstructed swings at each other until they both collapse on top of each other like two exhausted lovers.
http://www.democracynow.org/2016/11/10/genuinely_terrifying_prospect_greenwald_on_palin John Bolton is in the running for Secretary of State.
BB, Clinton was burying us deeper and deeper in debt? I seem to remember that we had to be bailed out of one of the worst recessions ever by Obama when he took office in 2008-9, then he had to contend with the Republican blockade for years after.They vowed to obstruct anything he tried to do and made their people sign a document that they wouldn’t raise taxes. I am also old enough to remember Bush coming into a solvent government, then getting us into an enormous unfunded war that cost us trillions. While Bush gave his rich cronies tax cuts. So therefore, who is paying for the recession and the wars? Could it be the poor, the middle class, and our infrastructure? But you say that’s all Clinton and Obama’s fault? Excuse me. Maybe you’re simply too young to remember anything and only have the current propaganda to feed on.
Dear Marcia Hubbard,
Repeal of Glass–Steagall, 1999 is what caused the collapse of 2008. Big Bill, the man who invented NAFTA, you know, the bill that shipped a staggering amount of our manufacturing base off shore, is the one who helped repeal the banking law of 1932 that prevented commercial banks from gambling with their clients money on the stock exchange (securities firms if you prefer). And the rest is history. It’s called the hens coming home to roost in 2008 and while young George didn’t help, you are only fooling yourself if you ignore Democrat neoliberals and their pivotal role in the torpedoing of the US economy by that act alone. And who was Obama’s Secretary of the Treasury? Timothy Geithner, one of the most neoliberal shysters there ever was (also from the Clinton stable) who bailed out the banks in 2008 but not the people who were tossed out on the street from the banks illegal liar loans. You have your eyes and ears wide shut.
Brooklin Bridge,
I certainly blame Bill Clinton and his administration for repeal of Glass-Steagall–but he did not invent NAFTA. That happened during the administration of George H. W. Bush:
Bush signs North American trade pact Clinton says he won’t renegotiate
December 18, 1992
http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1992-12-18/news/1992353055_1_treaty-renegotiate-clinton
WASHINGTON — President Bush signed the North American Free Trade Agreement yesterday, and his successor-in-waiting Bill Clinton immediately announced that he would not seek the treaty’s renegotiation.
Mr. Clinton, in a statement issued in Little Rock, Ark., said the signing represented “an important step” toward the economic integration of North America. He repeated his campaign assertion that there would have to be new job and environmental protections, and safeguards against sudden trade “surges,” but these could be settled without renegotiating the treaty with Mexico and Canada before he submitted implementing legislation.
“I will pursue those other things that I think need to be done in the public interest, then I will prepare implementing legislation and try to pass it in Congress,” he said.
*****
I guess we could say that both political parties are to blame for that trade deal.
Glass-Steagall was repealed in 1999 and the economy collapsed in 2008. What happened in between? Looks like we all have our blind spots.
This is barely worth it. Yes, it took 9 years for the banks to gamble away the investments to the point they could no longer hide it in the books and were about to collapse. We are talking about huge sums of money. Things don’t happen instantly as they appear to in your fantasies. This is documented (by left leaning economists). Do your own homework. Try Bill Black or Michael Hudson. They explain it so even you might get a glimmer that things in neoliberal dizzyland are amiss. You may be fine, but others are really suffering and apparently, as long as you don’t see or hear about them, they don’t exist or can be blamed on everyone but those who fit your world view. .
Look, it doesn’t matter to me what you think. If you can’t open your eyes then go back to television or DKos.
Sorry, Edm, my bad but it is splitting hairs a little. Clinton was all for NAFTA just as he was all for 3 strikes and your out thus starting us on the road to the biggest prison system (higly privitized for making a profit out of people’s misery – those who smoked a little dope) in our history. He was also for getting rid of poverty assistance as we knew it and he did so. He was the consummate neoliberal, imposing austerity on the many for the beneift of the few and making it an acceptable part of the Democrat platform. His role was far worse than that of his predecessor who was at least open about his intentions.
And the only reason the economy was any good at all under Clinton was the explosion of technology which Bill was unable to offshore quickly enough to avoid some money floating around and TEMPORARILY ONLY lifting up the economy. Bill had no more to do with technology than Al Gore had to do with inventing the internet and anyway, there wasn’t enough RAM in the country back then to create the electronic bimbo that would satisfy Bill so he had no interest.
These weak kneed girlie professors need to be fired, Lord knows they have NO common sense!
I’m with the students. This is not just a regular transition of power from one democratic contender to another. This is the transfer of power to an apparently fascist, xenophobic, racist, sexist, purveyor of propaganda, who has a tenuous hold on his temperament and hatred for anyone he thinks crosses him. If the students weren’t traumatized, I would be concerned.
Well said, Marcia!
Thanks, I truly believe it.
I admire the economy of your words. For me spewing out my frustration is therapy of a sort. What makes it work even better is to be smack dab in the middle of Turley’s Mob and not be fired upon. Turley does expel me from time to time when I catch him in his red suit. Still in shock, haven’t been able to find a silver lining or humor. This shame of America far surpasses the initial Bush takeover. Imagine how much better off we would have been with a President Gore. Even Hillary, even if all the exaggerations vomited by that buffoon were quadrupled we would still be better off with her.
issac – we would have been much better off with the inventor of the internet.
Why would you even think that Turley would toss you off the site for the stuff you post, just because he may disagree with all or part of it? I take this as proof that heretofore you have been hanging around Liberal Echo Chambers where non-conformity with the narrative is verboten. You have PTSD from that. IMHO.

We would not be better off with Hillary ……. it would simply be a different version of bad.
Many of us are in shock. There have been times in history when people rebelled against the status quo, but they turned to a “solution” even worse. Note the Russian Revolution. And everybody gets tired of the comparison to Germany re Hitler, but it’s sadly apt. There are already horrifying incidents happening in this country now that the racists, etc., feel emboldened. Among many examples, I just saw a picture posted of a gay person who was smashed in the face with a beer bottle. This may be and probably is just the beginning.
Marcia Hubbard – how do you know he was gay? And when was he smashed in the face? I do know a Trump supporter was beaten nearly to death by a group of blacks last night. He was told he was going to have to pay for this shit.
You will find a way to deny this homophobic attack even with a link. Does it matter that the person claimed attacked was gay? It was an attack. Excuse me, on the head, not the face. The beating of a Trump supporter is just more of the violence Trump’s rhetoric encourages You seem to be saying if the other side commits a crime, it’s OK if we do it, too. Were you the one who was saying the students need to grow up? http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/man-left-pool-blood-after-9232092?ICID=AmpControl&service=responsive&0p19G=c&service=tablet
Marcia – are you sure it wasn’t a bar brawl?
The “comparison re Hitler” may be apt.
The anti-Trump demonstrators have thrown rocks and bottles at police, set fires, and blocked streets and highways.
They haven’t attempted a Beer Hall Putsch yet, but give them time.
Hillary has a record of lying , rewarding her friends , avoiding responsibility , being indifferent to the fate of those who don’t fit her idea “good people”. She loves bigger and bigger government ( which depends on violence or the threat of violence to maintain it’s power ). So why is Trump anymore traumatizing than Hillary ?
Amen.
“Hillary has a record of lying , rewarding her friends , avoiding responsibility , being indifferent to the fate of those who don’t fit her idea “good people”.”
Wow! I thought for a minute that you were talking about Trump. Sure sounds like him.
It may occur to someone somewhere in the DNC, that if they had simply allowed Sanders to win as he would have except for all the cheating by Hillary and her bosom buddy Shultz and Brazile and the whole DNC and the MSM engineered total silence about Sander’s platform and his successes, people like you would now be dancing in the streets. But you were happy with a known criminal as the lessor of evils and expected the rest of the country to “get over it.”
It’s your own damn fault!
In the meantime, I’ll support Trump. He won fair and square (against absolutely amazing odds) and leave the hysteria to others.
Bernie would have been labeled a a “communist.” I would appreciate your forwarding to me the known crimes Hillary Clinton has committed. Has she been proven guilty of these accusations? Has she even been charged, except by the Trump supporters? I thought this blog was about legal issues. Can you prove she bribed a judge or rigged the system? Help. Get me out of here!
I don’t do assignments. Do your own homework. Everyone said Brexit would never ever pass. Sanders would have won over Trump. People were looking for sincerity and honesty and were willing to stretch their world view quite a bit to get it – hence Trump. You may not like what he says, but he comes across as telling it like he sees it, and that was Sanders signature as well.
Back to Bernie, he would have won, there is no doubt about it, but frankly, it does’t matter. Either way, he shouldn’t have been given the invisible treatment by the main stream media and that was an engineered feat by Hillary and the DNC and the DNC should not have explicitly prevented people from voting for him. That was foul play and you seem to think it doesn’t matter. It does. And don’t go giving anyone orders to prove it to you. Read Wikileaks and swoon over the Russian invasion.
Marcia – that’s really funny: “who has a tenuous hold on his temperament and hatred for anyone he thinks crosses him” Actually ask anyone who had the misfortune to serve in the WH when Bill was in office. They all feared HRC and did their utmost to avoid any interaction. From what I hear it was similar at State. HRC is the real thugalicious.
My answer to all that is that it’s a matter of proportion. There really is no comparison. You apparently really and truly don’t “get” what you have unleashed. It would be comforting if we could say, just learn the hard way, but you are dragging all of us into this coming nightmare. Don’t criticize the students. Young people have died in many countries, including this one, for their abilities to see things with clearer eyes than their supposedly “wiser” elders. These kids are not “snowflakes; they have the “guts” to stand up for what they believe in.
I know quite a few college students since I currently live in the college town of Madison, WI. While a minority, I would guess to be about 30-40%, there are students who don’t think like this. Most of them just keep their mouths shut. They don’t eat, drink, and sleep politics. They are mostly moderates who are there to get an education and to varying degrees detest or resent the indoctrination and “vapors” of their fellow students.
The reason this election is different is that so many people who dislike Trump, his personality, his values, his hair and tanning lotioned face, still voted for him. He had a higher disapproval rating than Hillary which is why she won the popular vote.
We have had many incompetent Presidents, in fact they were all incompetent to make decisions impacting hundreds of millions of diverse people, but Trump seems to be particularly inexperienced in political processes, functionally illiterate, and unable to control what he says.
Doglover
If Trump’s illiteracy and inability to control what he says was all there was to it, I would just sit back and laugh the way I did when Bush was around. Trump is a carnival barker and unless he is some sort of genius laughing at all us schmucks then we are in for a backslide to equal or surpass the last two: Reagan and Bush.
Time will tell …….. I doubt that Trump will abuse inhabitants of this earth as much as Obama , Clinton , Bush , Bush , Lincoln ( ~ 1 million Americans ) , etc. I could be wrong. I don’t think his hair , his speech , his lotion , his “values” will hurt one fly. Only his actions matter. If you want him to follow “your” agenda , then be super nice to him and explain why your approach is non-abusive.
If you like democracy only when your side wins the election, then you do not like democracy. You do not want elections at all, really, you only want for your point of view to be implemented. That is how totalitarian states work. It is not how democracy works.
I abhor the use of accusations of “unAmerican,” but refusing to accept the electoral choice of a majority of one’s fellow citizens is most assuredly undemocratic, and is therefor “un American.”
Citizens often get upset when the candidate who won the popular vote is not elected president.
Bill Elections are all about forcing the “point of view” of the winners on the losers. There are better systems to try …… they just go against human nature , so they are not considered.
What is really troubling is that this is just the way the Democratic Party encourages the acting-out by the students. Saying in effect, “Oh it is just peachy if you want to go all riot-mode, and tear things up in supporting the Democratic Party’s various narratives!”
It is the same “Your behavior is socially acceptable!” nod, that Mao gave to the Red Guard, and Hitler gave the Brown Shirts. And it will have the same results.
Squeeky Fromm

Now, tell me where, exactly, the Democratic Party itself has encouraged acting out by students.
1 – when conservatives like Milo are asked to speak at universities, protestors shout them down, physically intimidate them, and threaten them. Sometimes they get the university to cancel the entire appearance. The university does not call the police or discipline them.
2 – when a student wrote the word “Trump” the university took a very anti-Trump stance and threatened to investigate the student
3 – when BLM got to campuses, activists threatened white students and even made them walk the long way around to get to class. A white student with dread locks was attacked in a stairwell by black women. The universities not only did not discipline the students, now segregated Jim Crow housing is become en vogue.
4 – Universities are encouraging Democratic students to skip class because the election did not go their way
There are many other examples, but these might help clarify the point that universities are moving beyond bias towards activism and intimidation, in some cases. Not all universities ascribe to this paradigm, however.
Sorry, Jesse, I scrolled too fast. I misread your comment as Democratic party in universities encouraging students rather than the Democratic Party by itself.
Yeah and Trump didn’t encourage violence-it’s on tape? And, Trump didn’t whine about the rigged election while promoting ‘enforcers’ to hit the polling places? Hypocrisy is swelling. Let’s talk when the recession hits. Of course, you will blame it all on the ‘snowflakes’, progressives, Obama, etc. If there ever was a mob mentality……
exactly……… voting for your guy ( or girl ) to become head dictator , commander in chief of the most violent military force currently deployed , is mob mentality ….. mob violence
You mean like the associations of mobs Clinton helped formulate for Libya? Maybe you might want to spend some time there.
A Benny Hinn healing festival would work. You can feel the fire instead of rioting & setting fires. Benny takes cash or credit.
Anyone want to say with a straight face that universities do not follow the State religion of the Democrats, or inject those politics into teaching?
Sorry, but when I was in school, we were expected to have crossed the threshold into adulthood. Professors occasionally cussed, we discussed very serious, sometimes emotional subjects, and our views were vigorously challenged. There was already strong Democratic bias, but we were also held to a high standard for discussing adult topics.
What kind of students are universities turning out now? How can they handle a crisis at work and buckle down if they cannot understand that this country is a multi party system and, occasionally, another party may win the White House.
It seems as if Liberals were working under the impression that they ruled the world, and trying to obtain some kind of fascist hold on power. The absolute hatred they hold for half of the entire country is disturbing.
McCain was the devil, Palin was the devil, Romney was the devil, Romney’s dressage riding wife pampering her horse with all her private money was the devil…I believe there would have been similar vomiting (really, people have been photographed literally vomiting into trash cans because they cannot understand how another party won), and crying, if any of the above had won, too. Which leads me to believe that Liberals want a single party state with an uber presidency, who has a phone and a pen. Pushback against Obama’s abuse of power was met with extreme pushback. Did they want a dictatorship, as long as it was their side?
Progressives not liberals are protesting Trump. For the most part liberals don’t take to the streets. Maybe the universities are turning out the same type of students that protested Johnson and the Vietnam War.
SWM – the students in the Johnson era were afraid of the draft. Very few radical professors were involved on any campus. Now it is 95% radicalized.
Good point, Paul. After LBJ ramped up the draft calls from 1965 on, the draft and the Vietnam War overshadowed all other issues.
It was a “labor intensive” war, and the draft calls spiked to supply the half million American troops LBJ added to the war.
Also, Trump has not done anything yet. They are protesting his rhetoric not his actions.
Good point SWM. They are shadow-boxing. He hasn’t even stepped into the ring.
SWM, you are still confusing Progressives with Liberals. Progressives called it — and many voted for Trump to prevent HRC’s reign of terror.
It actually looks like many progressives just stayed home.They did not vote for either one of them or the third party candidates, Amber. The protest vote was “none of the above”.
Thank you for sharing wisdom and maturity on a college campus.
Great column.
Hillary deserves NO respect at all. She has no respect for the law or our government institutions. She needs to pay a price like all others who have violated the law.
That would mean Trump goes straight to jail.
Bring back the draft. A great number of these “students” can’t even keep up with the courses. The idea that these “Mary’s” can’t deal with the results of a national election is outrageous.
As far as the professor goes he should be fired immediately for failing to perform his job.
I can’t imagine what would happen to this nation if we needed to call on these people in an emergency. Their parents should be outraged.
The draft ! What a heavy-handed world you want to live in. Take a hammer to everyone. Who will be left to respond to an emergency ?
Actually, having the draft would act to keep us out of crazy pre-emptive wars started by whim or to sell arms or for an oil pipeline or to destabilize the friends of our enemies, all just to prove we are still numero uno in the empire department.
Granted, we should be able to avoid war without using our children as hostages, but so far our track record is dismal.
I agree 100%. A draft for all human beings between the age of 18 and 21 with no exemptions is the only way to get this country to think hard and long about sending human beings to far off lands to kill other human beings and be killed themselves.
The Trump trauma is real.
The trauma experienced by children having to stay alive in Syria is real. Get over the election and find a good horse with some ethics and ideals. Don’t externalize the blame, ask yourself why this happened.
One of the best articles I’ve read for, “why it happened” is from Niomi Clien on the Guardian. Note, the Guardian has become a Blairite piece of rubbish but still puts out the occasional decent article from time to time. This is one and here are the first few paragraphs. Worth a read:

Theiy have to get in touch with their feelings. Awwwwwwww or is it the Professor sees a chance for another day not doing their job. What a bunch of wimps. Definitely not adult matereial Students nor Teacher.
Michael Aarethun – in 72 days the Age of the Special Snowflake will begin to end.
GOP was informed trump will have a cabinet with the new position of Secretary of Hate. The list of those interested in the post is as long as the roll call of the republicans in congress. And you wonder why these poor kids are traumatized….
they are traumatized because the are intellectually flaccid, arrogant, insular and incapable of believing that reasonable people can disagree
A few days ago, I recommended someone for the job to head Hillary’s proposed Ministry of Propaganda.
Didn’t think that Trump would win, but if he establishes the position of Sec. Of Hate, he can sent out applications to the protesters.
They’re full of it ( hate, too).
There is no way I would reschedule an exam. I even had an optional classroom set up in case of bomb threats. An exam is an exam. However, I would not have scheduled an exam the day after a primary election.
Good note Paul. You clearly point out that common sense is in short supply, too.
